Ernst pulled ahead on the A♥ turn, pairing his ace. The 3♥ fell on the river to secure him the double-up.

Nishant Sharma: A♥Q♣

Jamhour Qasem: A♥Q♣
Spasov was behind when the cards were flipped but the 10♠9♦9♠ flop saw him pick up a straight draw, which came in on the J♦ turn.
A 10♦ river didn't change anything and Spasov secured his double-up.
Kenny Hallaert raised to 100,000 from under the gun and Jareth East three-bet to 355,000 in early position, leaving himself with 25,000 back. Hallaert four-bet all-in and East called to put himself at risk.

There were no tens to be found on the 6♥9♣4♦3♣6♣ runout, ending East's tournament run.
Action went three-ways to a flop of Q♣7♠A♥ in a hand between the under-the-gun Eric Eelkema, Ricky Bui in the small blind, and Pedro Garcia in the big blind.
It checked to Eelkema, who bet 110,000, and Ricky Bui responded by moving all in for about 615,000. Garcia called for 410,000 to put himself at risk, and Eelkema got out of the way.
Pedro Garcia: A♣J♠
Ricky Bui: A♦7♦
The board ran out 4♣Q♥ and Bui's two pair was counterfeited, giving Garcia the best hand with two pair, aces and queens with a jack kicker.
